A quick reminder that the Electoral College only exists at the insistence of the slave states and the 3/5ths compromise.

Good old racism, America's original sin, continues to bite us all in the ass to this day.

@jmjm But don't all US citizens just love the Constitution, even more than they love their elected leaders?

@nichni I can only speak for myself.

I love my country the way I love my partner. I understand their flaws and do my best to help them be their best self.

@jmjm I just don’t understand why there isn’t a push to abolish it.

@noksucow There is.

And it's easy. We don't even need a constitutional amendment. We just need another 60 EVs worth of states to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

You can make this happen by putting a proposition on next year's ballot.
